Student Expectations
Steps for Success:
Be on time to school, and to every lesson
Lessons start at 8:30am. Students should be in school before this time.
Wear the correct uniform
We regularly check that students wear their full uniform including blazers and ties.
Students wearing skirts should ensure these are pleated and knee-length. Shoes must be plain black. Any make-up most be subtle and jewellery is restricted to a single pair of stud earrings.
Be equipped for lessons
Every day students need:
A black/blue pen, a red pen, a pencil and a ruler.
Year 7 and Year 11 students must bring a bag to store books and revision materials in. bags are recommended for Years 8, 9 and 10.
Complete work outside of lessons
Complete any homework/independent learning set by your teachers.
